Very solid build once again! Have done merciless lab at lvl 57, jumping adds are annoing , boss was piece of cake! Gona keep progress and see what is behind next door :)

" Looks like a good all-around belt for any life based build. Tons of life, immunity to 1 or 2 ailments, some extra damage. Should be plenty of builds that can benefit from it. | |
" The chance of getting both of those mods is something like 1/500, I did the math earlier in the thread. I'm using my Altars on Astras now, because there are other useful mods that you can get on an amulet, so the chance of getting a good 2-mod combo is higher there. | |

May i ask why CWDT 10 Immortal 12 golems 12? thx for answer

" About 30 attempts. I was doing them more actively (chaining aqueducts) earlier and got one with an Int mod in about 20 tries. After achieving my gearing goals I switched to league grind challenges (shaper/elder influence and lv 75+ temples) but kept doing Astras any time I'd get the Altar. And this one happened in about 10 tries. Yeah, that's a lot of luck. Half of the time they poof or brick, you lose the currency spent on it. Half of the other half nothing happens ('white sockets', but there are no sockets) and you can simply sell that Astra for the same price you bought it, maybe 1-2c lower. And the remaining quarter of the time you get 2 mods that usually sell well (for some mods you get slightly more than you bought it for, for others you can get multiple exalts). I was definitely making a profit when i was doing it. Astras with decent stats were 20-25c for a very long time, and now by the middle of the league they are 25-35c. But the price doesn't really matter because you can sell them for a price based on the initial price. It's just the time investment. You can spend your time on many things, this is one of the options. I would say it's worth doing until you get a good Astra for yourself. Last edited by Kelvynn on Jul 9, 2018, 1:15:40 PM

" You are lv 73. Get to lv 90 and you'll have 8.5-9k ES. And then it's about upgrading and min-maxing. But it will matter only for Uber Elder. Or making T16/Shaper super easy instead of 'just easy'. Level your gems too. I can't check your Pantheon, but it's very important. Make sure you are using the Brine King and Tukohama. Upgrade the Brine King, all those extra things on it are VERY good. And make sure your resists are maxed. Gear: 11% Cyclopean Coil with 4% corrupt mod - I hope you didn't pay more than 25c for it. It's basically the same exact thing as a 15% uncorrupted one. Boots without ms... Good boots, but no ms will hurt in the Incursions. Gloves with no resists. They should have at least one 40%+ res mod, ideally two. Overall, you are fine for lv 73 and shouldn't be dying anywhere lower than red maps. Unless your Pantheon is wrong or resists are messed up. | |
" Watcher's Eye is totally not the reason we can facetank bosses. This build has been facetanking everything way before that item was created. It's nice to have, but its main strength is QoL for mapping. Against a single target its effect isn't that big. Damage mitigation and leech are the reasons why we can facetank bosses. | |
" Because that's when Chaos golem gets 4% phys mitigation. | |
" No, I did not pay anything for the belt, I used a vaal and had some luck in bad luck. ^^ My Resistance is all 75%, so my gloves do not need Resi more. I have crafted my own shoes because what I need is far too expensive, in addition MS even drives the price upwards. Yes you are right, I have not finished the Phanteoms yet, I will do that later. I have to do Uberlab too. ps: the @NoImagination meant I should use other Flask? I have now turned to you. : D Thanks for your quick reply. <3 Last edited by jIZHO on Jul 9, 2018, 1:18:40 PM

" Fixing flasks is easy, so I recommend that first. They don't have to be perfect, but they do have to be useful. Three of granite, basalt, stibnite and jade, then one quicksilver and one sulphur is fine. Fixing vigilant strike is also easy, you can drop purity of elements and portal. Fixing pantheon and uber lab are pretty easy, I'd do those next. Having the first three is fine for now, but as soon as you can do a white Reef, you should. Fixing whispering ice is pretty easy, to get to 18% intelligence. Watcher's Eye and boots are harder to fix as they're expensive. You can get the eye for 40c, you want the mod "Energy Shield gained for each Enemy Hit while affected by Discipline". Seems to me that you still can't get great boots on the market. For a pure upgrade in every dimension, you'd need to craft your own boots: the base is 1c now (ilvl86 sorcerer's), 2 exalt for multimod, and ~2,000 alts to roll T1 movespeed & T1 int. That's a way away though. It's probably better to just take a 30% move speed, 51 int, 75 ES, no resist boots and build around those for now. Last edited by NoImagination on Jul 9, 2018, 4:08:18 PM
